One of the earliest applications of ‘AI scientists’ was to research AI itself.Credit: La Pico de Gallo/Getty Artificial intelligence has made leaps in AI research itself, finding ways to make existing algorithms smarter — or writing new ones. But computers are not yet ready to replace their makers, according to a study posted on the
The rapid spread of generative AI tools has exposed deep vulnerabilities in conventional methods of academic assessment. This challenge came into sharp focus for me when I found evidence of widespread unauthorized use of artificial intelligence in an examination for my course on welfare economics and social-choice theory at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island,
QED Science has developed an AI tool that examines manuscripts before publication and assesses the originality and validity of their findings.Credit: deepblue4you/Getty A growing number of private firms are offering researchers artificial-intelligence tools for scrutinizing manuscripts before publication. One such system, developed by a start-up called QED Science in Tel Aviv, Israel, aims to judge
VirTues architecture Multiplexed imaging data pose modality-specific challenges to the development of scalable machine learning algorithms. The images represent high-dimensional samples, characterized by a large number of measured channels and high spatial resolutions. Further, the total number as well as the combination of channels varies between datasets as studies use different marker panels. These characteristics
Welcome to Eye on AI. Beatrice Nolan here. In today’s issue: This week, the major players in the AI industry met with the U.S. government in a bid to end the confusion around the regulation of frontier AI models. The meeting was convened at the White House on Tuesday, and featured OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta,
An AI fact-checking tool found errors in molecule boiling points listed in a chemistry reference database.Credit: Monty Rakusen/Getty For decades, chemists have relied on handbook values for a molecule’s boiling point to identify substances and plan processes such as distillation. But an artificial-intelligence model has revealed that some trusted numbers in one reference database have
